Object Commands

Like Action Buttons, static objects can also have associated commands which are used by people filling out your form.  You can link a command to any static object (such as text) using the HyperLink property, and select from a list of pre-defined commands that will be performed when the object is clicked in Formatta Filler.

For example, when a text object named "Send" is clicked, the form will automatically be emailed to the address specified by the form author.  Other commands include:

• Print

• Save

• Post

• Validate

• Hyperlink

• and many others

Adding commands to text objects can greatly speed up and simplify form filling and processing by automating a great variety of tasks; however, unlike Action Buttons, only a single command can be added to a text object.  

Note:  As a security precaution, only commands defined by Formatta can be included on a form.

Using Object Commands

1. Select the static form object on your form.

2. Enter the command in the HyperLink property (e.g., cmd://attachments)
